Chapter 83: Little bastard, sneak attack

The trolls at the west gate did not expect that the human commander in front of them was so insidious and had hidden half of the troops.

Although some trolls were injured by musket bullets, the troll formation was stabilized again under the suppression of the witch doctor commander and the recovery of their injuries by the witch doctor's healing totems.

Because the headhunters' eyes were affected by the reflected sunlight and their accuracy was insufficient, they focused their fire on ten large water elementals. The water elementals were soon dispersed, forming large puddles on the spot, which affected the infantry's advance.

Garin looked at it and thought to himself, "Mmm!" It was a wrong decision. Next time he would not concentrate the water element on the advance. The grass on the high ground was soaked by water and turned into a quagmire after just a few steps, which affected the speed of advancement.

Fortunately, he saved a hand.

The 5,000 men in reserve went out in full force to give the trolls a final charge. The deafening shouts caused the trolls' barely stable morale to drop to the bottom again, and their front line was already slowly retreating.

The infantry also began to suffer casualties during the hand-to-hand combat with the trolls.

Although the large shields held in front of the human infantry are very thick and strong, and the protective area is also considerable, after the shield skill is activated, the limited counterattacks of the Witherbark Trolls cannot cause any damage to the infantry whose entire bodies are protected by the large shields.

However, on both sides of the city gate, the trolls built two watchtowers, and the troll headhunters on them attacked the infantry from above their heads, throwing spears that caused them considerable casualties. Fortunately, Garin had spent money to activate the Paladin's Pious Aura from the beginning of the battle, which added a lot of armor to the infantry, so the injured infantry were not killed by the single blow.

Even so, Garin's troops still suppressed the trolls and forced them into the city walls. The troll headhunters had already taken refuge inside the city walls, relying on the wooden walls to counterattack the human infantry. Only the wooden walls could give them some sense of security.

However, the weapons and equipment of the headhunters were too primitive and backward. Their javelins were made of sharp stones, and only a small number of them had iron spearheads. The infantrymen's full set of plate armor made them helpless.

Damn it! The current battle is really too disadvantageous. Not only are these human infantrymen covered in armor, but they also go into battle with such a large shield on their heads. It's simply bullying.

The witch doctor commander was so angry that his teeth were itching.

When the trolls were full of resentment and felt extremely aggrieved, Garin was very happy. He had overwhelming weapons and equipment, and overwhelming numbers. How could you lose?

The kryptonian warrior Garin teaches online, telling the trolls that overcoming the fear of insufficient troops and the feeling of bullying others by relying on equipment and numbers is so refreshing.

It can only be understood but not expressed in words.

Seeing that his side had gained the upper hand, Garin dismounted and moved forward, approaching the two troll watchtowers under the protection of his guards' shields. He once again spent money to summon two water elementals and used water waves to attack the troll headhunters on the two watchtowers to prevent them from continuing to attack from above.

The sentry tower was tied up, and Garin freed his hands. With a wave of his hand, the krypton gold blizzard fell on the group of trolls. For a moment, there was wailing and crying everywhere, and a space was cleared in the back row of the trolls.

Dozens of troll corpses were left in the center of the blizzard, while the trolls on the periphery escaped from the blizzard's attack range. Although they were seriously injured, they recovered quickly with their powerful self-healing abilities and the witch doctor's healing totem and rejoined the battle.

Seeing that the trolls were still resisting stubbornly at the city gate and Garin's follow-up troops had all entered the scene, he waved his hand and a new water element appeared beside the wooden wall. After a while, another new water element appeared. Garin commanded them to attack the wooden wall of Deadwood Village.

One of the two mortar teams was assigned to Gandalf, and the other one was hidden in the back by Garin. At this moment, there was a water element in the front row to hold them back. They had been waiting for a long time, and now it could finally be used.

Mortar Team

Armor type: Leather

Weapons: 60mm mortar, refined gunpowder shells

Attack interval: 3.5 seconds

Attack method: Remote bombing

Skills: Flash bomb, precision projectile

Range: 40m to 2500m

Cost: 180 gold, 70 wood

The mortar team of twenty-four people, two people cooperated, one carried the shells on his back, and the other carried the barrel. They used the water element as a cover, placed the barrel, aimed at the position where the water element would attack, and dropped bombs to bomb the bottom of the wooden wall.

The second battalion commander’s Italian artillery is about to show its power!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

After a round of bombing, the wooden wall made of century-old logs that were nearly one meter thick began to show damage, and one part even began to tilt after being repeatedly impacted by the water element's flow.

The sound of artillery shells exploding continued on the battlefield.

"Hold on! Hold on! Warriors of Deadwood, our home is behind us. We cannot let humans in. They will slaughter our loved ones!"

The troll witch doctor and his teammates had been casting spells and using healing totems to continuously provide assistance to the tribesmen in battle and to boost morale. They were so busy that they had no time to pay attention to the wall that was under attack.

At the same time, some witch doctors stopped casting healing totems and started attacking the front-line infantry. The witch doctors rubbed and rubbed, like funny monkeys, and then raised their hands to summon a thick red patterned totem, and then the totem flashed, and a fist-sized fireball shot towards the human infantry.

"Oh!"

Although the soldier who was hit raised his shield to block the exploding lava fireball with his instinctive reaction to danger, he was still injured by the huge impact force. He spit out a mouthful of blood, fell backwards, and hit his teammates behind him!

hiss!

Why is it so powerful?

More than a dozen such totems were summoned, and seeing that their attack was contained, the trolls showed signs of stabilizing again.

Garin was shocked when he saw this scene. It seemed that there was a reason why Deadwood Village could stand on the east side of Arathi Highlands and was not cleared away by his father who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

There are two brushes!

Although their ordinary soldiers have poor military skills and most of them are young and strong civilians conscripted, their spellcasters have some abilities. After all, they are a race with a history of thousands of years. It has to be said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

Because the line was too long and they were attacked from two sides at the same time, Garin handed sixty wizards over to Gandalf for command. He thought that with his numerical advantage, he could launch a devastating attack on the trolls, but he did not expect that the trolls' totem magic was so powerful.

My clever little Zhuge Jialin made another mistake.

boom!

A huge log wall finally collapsed after multiple rounds of bombardment from water elements and mortars. The Deadwood Village lost the barrier of the wooden wall. As long as all the infantrymen entered the city, the trolls would collapse completely!

When Jialin saw the cracks in the wooden wall, he was delighted. How could I, the little Zhuge, make a mistake? The city is broken!

Suddenly, a warning came to his mind. An exploding lava fireball flew towards him. It was as big as a washbasin. Even if Garin dodged it, he would be injured by the shattered fragments.

At the critical moment, Garin immediately stopped the blizzard he was releasing and used the krypton gold invincible holy shield.

A translucent shield with a yellow glow on its surface just appeared on Garin's body when the lava fireball hit the shield and exploded. After the shield trembled slightly, a large amount of burning debris slid down from the light shield of the Holy Shield.

Garin's heart was pounding and his face was full of fear, but the few bodyguards who were guarding him were not so lucky. They were knocked to the ground by the blast and their mouths and noses were bleeding.

Damn! You're trying to sneak attack, you can't afford it, you loser!

Who the hell shot me in the back? Luckily I have many skills, otherwise I would have really died!
